POSTSEASON
TICKET
INFORMATION
As the Buckeyes continue their successful run
through the 2015 regular season, we would
like to inform you of your ticket options for the
Buckeyes postseason play. Football season ticket
holders will have priority in requesting Big Ten
Championship game tickets and bowl tickets.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to follow the
Buckeyes this postseason!
Enclosed you will find details regarding ticket
opportunities for both the Big Ten Championship
Game as well as potential bowl games the
Buckeyes may play in. Any orders submitted will
only be fulfilled for games in which the Buckeyes
play. All ticket prices shown include applicable
service charges.
*Please Note: All communication regarding postseason
football (including a potential bowl game) will be done
via email. Please make sure your email address on file
with the OSU Athletics Ticket Office is correct. You can
verify your email address by logging into your Ohio State
Buckeyes Account.
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP
TICKET INFORMATION
If the Buckeyes finish first in the East Division of the
Big Ten Conference, they will earn a spot in the Big
Ten Championship game being held at Lucas Oil
Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana on December 5th!
Submitting your Ticket Request
All requests for Big Ten Championship Game tickets must be
requested online via your Ohio State Buckeyes Account. Requests
will be accepted online beginning at 9:00am on Wednesday,
November 18th until 5:00pm on Monday, November 23rd. All
eligible season ticket holders will be able to apply for tickets at the
$90 price point for the Big Ten Championship game. Due to the
limited quantity available, only Buckeye Club members at the Big Ten
Champions level or above will be able to apply for tickets at the higher
price of $185 each. Those Buckeye Club members who apply for $185
tickets may still be reduced to the $90 price point if demand for higher
priced tickets exceeds availability. There will be a limited quantity of
tickets available at the higher price level, so the majority of orders
will be fulfilled at the lower price level. The priority point system
will be used to determine ticket assignment. Due to the volume of
championship orders expected, acceptance of your online request is
NOT a guarantee that your request will be fulfilled.
Please Note: There will be a 2 ticket limit per season ticket account.
Payment and Ticket Notification
You will be required to enter a form of payment (American Express,
Discover, Mastercard, or Visa) when submitting your online request for
Big Ten Championship tickets, but your card will not be charged unless
your order is fulfilled. Cards will be charged between November
25th and November 30th, so please be sure to have funds available.
Notification of ticket requests will be sent via email after cards have
been charged. The date on which your credit card will be charged will
be dependent upon confirmation of Ohio State’s participation in the
Big Ten Championship game. If participating teams are not decided
until after the final regular season games, cards will be charged for
those receiving tickets after the completion of those games.
Faculty/Staff and Student Season Ticket Holders
Faculty/Staff and student season ticket holders will have the opportunity
to enter a lottery for Big Ten Championship game tickets. Lottery
entries for faculty/staff and student season ticket holders will be
accepted online from 9:00am on Thursday, November 19th until
5:00pm on Friday, November 20th. Faculty/staff members will be
able to enter the lottery for up to 2 tickets at $90 each and students will
be able to enter the lottery for 1 ticket (2 if married) at $45 each. Lottery
information will be sent via email to all eligible faculty/staff and student
season ticket holders the week of November 16th.
Ticket Delivery
Due to limited timing, all tickets for the Big Ten Championship
Game will be issued as Print-at-Home tickets. If your request for
tickets is fulfilled, you will be sent an email on December 2nd with
instructions on how to log into your Ohio State Buckeyes Account and
print your tickets at home. Your print at home tickets will have active
barcodes and will be used for admission into the Championship Game.
BOWL GAME
TICKET INFORMATION
The Buckeyes bowl bid will not be determined
until after the completion of the regular Big Ten
season and the Big Ten Championship game.
Potential bowl games and ticket prices can be
found in this brochure.
Submitting your Bowl Game Ticket Request
All requests for bowl tickets must be requested online via your Ohio
State Buckeyes Account. You will have the opportunity to request
tickets for any of the games the Buckeyes may play in, but orders
will only be filled for the game in which the Buckeyes play. Requests
for bowl games and CFP semifinal games (if applicable) will be
accepted online beginning at 9:00am on Wednesday, November
19th until 5:00pm on Friday, December 11th. If the Buckeyes
are selected to play in a CFP semifinal game, all requests for
the CFP National Championship game must be submitted by
12:00pm on Wednesday, December 23rd. All requests will be
submitted for the highest priced tickets available for each game. If
demand exceeds supply available at the highest price level, your card
will automatically be charged for tickets at any lower price included in
Ohio State’s allotment of tickets. The priority point system will be used
to determine ticket assignment. Due to the volume of bowl orders
expected, acceptance of your online request is NOT a guarantee that
your request will be fulfilled.
Please Note: Ticket limits for each bowl game may vary.
